TUF Brasil finals, Vitor Belfort-Wanderlei Silva headed to summer PPV

While much of the UFC’s focus may be on this weekend’s lineup at UFC 142, the organization is also looking ahead a few months to TUF Brasil where coaches Wanderlei Silva and Vitor Belfort will each lead a team composed of featherweights/middleweights hoping to become Brazil’s first Ultimate Fighter champion. At the end of the season Silva-Belfort will face off as well.

I don’t know how much I like the idea of the UFC booking fights when the fighters have upcoming matches. MickeyC is right, what if Vitor loses? And to book Chael without seeing how he does against Munoz is asking for trouble. Same with giving Rashad the title shot before he gets by Davis.
I know we’ve all been asking for a clear cut #1, 2, 3 in each division, but announcing these type of prebookings just seems like an unnecessary risk.
